Posted: 6/22/2008 1:26:56 AM | Hiya peeps!
Work is sending me to Belfast  . I've not been there before so I decided to stay on for a few days after and have a look around. I'm on a VERY limited budget so was wondering if anyone had suggestions on cheap of free stuff to do while there?
Much appreciated  | |

Have you tried gotobelfast.com
Just found that site today after posting! I'm now thinking I might go to the Belfast Hills if the weather is good. Would be nice to know people's opinions on what's good to do though :)
I'm planning on doing a tour first day cause I figure a bus tour would maybe drive by places I would want to explore more in depth.
Thanks for the replies!  | |

U could go walk around the city hall, inside, outside u have the belfast big wheel.
Lots of cafes at reasonable prices but avoid victoria square, very dear.
Bus tours are good and do explore the two communities that were once divided, so enjoy. Its all good and the people are fab | |

Posted: 7/23/2008 12:43:51 PM | I had a couple of hours waiting to kill when I was last there with work waiting for my flight so I popped up and had a look at the murals on Shankill road, as for going out in the evening I found it a bit typical and didnt manage to find any special/decent bars.. saying that the Crown Bar opposite the station was ok but a bit touristy.
Dublin on the other hand is a fantastic place for a night out. | |
